Mr. Coffee Single Serve Brewer

If you're overwhelmed by complicated digital models, the basic black Mr. Coffee Single Serve Brewer might be the machine for you. This single-serve coffeemaker has only two settings. However, as the tank holds just 24 ounces, you may find yourself refilling it often if you're brewing coffee for a crowd. On the plus side, this Mr. Coffee can brew into a travel mug — a nice bonus. Like your coffee hot? This machine delivers. Unfortunately, it took nearly three minutes to produce a cup, and the coffee was among the lowest rated by our taste panel.
